    7.6 Services FSO Characteristics The free space distance (FSO) can be interrupted by different events briefly or also longer. Short events are caused for example by flying birds or falling leaves. These interruptions last typically some 10 to some 100 ms.
  • Page 26 MISC TX-Power In case of a short distance between the two AirLasers it is necessary to reduce the optical transmitter power, to prevent overloading the receiver. Whether a receiver is overloaded or not, you can recognize by the APD- factor (see status site). The single beam device has two power levels, the four-beam device has four power levels.

  • Page 27: Firmware

    With firmware updates, AirLaser IP1000plus will be on the actual status. First an upload of the firmware from CBL’s webserver to your PC is necessary. Next step is the transmission to the AirLaser. Select on firmware side the version, you want to install and click on "upload". The firmware will now be uploaded from your PC into the RAM of the AirLaser terminal.

  • Page 28: Config File

    The system report is binary coded and encrypted. The file can only be opened and read with a special software by the CBL customer service. Thus, it is the CBL customer service in case of a service request, to quickly get an overview and to provide a comprehensive diagnosis.
  • Page 29 For evaluation, please send the file by email to the address lists of the CBL customer service staff.

  • Page 30: Reset

    7.9 Reset With "Reboot System", you can start the firmware of the AirLasers again. The actual configuration remains. The optical link is interrupted during booting for approx. 30 seconds. If you select "Load Factory Settings", the actual configuration will be deleted and a new with factory default set up will be valid.

  • Page 31: Tests

    7.10 Tests In the AirLaser IP1000plus firmware three tests are implemented to check the functionality of the optical link. Laser Alignment Test The laser Aligment test is only implemented in the four beam model AirLaser IP1000plus/800. The test tells you whether the local device (the device to which you are logged in) is optimally aligned to the remote site. For maximum operational reliability, it is important that all four laser meet with nearly the same power the receiver of the remote site.
  • Page 32 If the measured current is outside the permissible range, an alarm message is send and an entry in the log file is made. In this case the frontscreen must be replaced by CBL.

  • Page 33: Status

    7.11 Status The status page gives you a quick overview of the status of your wireless connection. The site is divided in the middle. The left shows the status of the device to which you are logged on. The right part shows you the status of the remote device. By clicking on the link to the remote IP address, you can log in quickly to the remote device.
  • Page 34 Resulting port status: active Port is currently being used for data transmission. standby (only controlled ports) The port is for data transmission available, but not used, because another path is already active. blocked (only controlled ports) The data transfer is interrupted at this port through the management because, for example, the switchback delay is not yet fully elapsed or a reflection is detected.
  • Page 35 At the bottom of the site you find the System Time, i.e. the current local time of the system and the Uptime, i.e. the time that has elapsed since the last boot.

  • Page 36: Logfile

    7.12 Logfile In the log events that affect the device or the wireless link are documented. The log file can be downloaded from this site on your PC. Swap Order will reverse the sort sequence of the logfile entries. Either the newest entry is in the first row or the oldes entry.

  • Page 37: Port Counter

    7.13 Port counter Portcounter counts received and transmitted bytes and frames at each port of the AirLaser. With this counter, specially the error counter, possible problems can be seen.

  • Page 38: History

    7.14 History AirLaser takes measurement with several sensors and traffic counters up to one month. These are: - optical RX-power - system temperature - power in the APD - fso and tp2 monitoring frames - fso, f1, tp1 and tp2 rx and tx bits - fso, f1, tp1 and tp2 rx bitserrors The curves can help to have a look on the quality of the link.

  • Page 39: Backup

    TP2. This monitoring is intended for radio receivers powered by the AirLaser via PoE, such as the CBL AirLink or the integrated AirLaser Backup. A monitoring packet generated by the AirLaser is transmitted 10 times per second to monitor the optical and backup connections.
